Welcome to our first round of discussions for ARPA Journal. This is a message-board style discussion open to all contributors and readers. We call this a debate because we hope to recognize diverse, contending approaches to applied research in architecture. We are dedicated to the idea that an open investigation of unique positions can lead to more nuanced approaches to each issue.
